Question CPU and GPU Utilization

[ecw.soccer1]

I have a i7-7700k CPU and my GPU is an RTX 2700 Super. My motherboard is a "GIGABYTE GA-H270-HD3 LGA1151 Intel H270 2-Way Crossfire ATX DDR4 Motherboard". The main game that I play right now is rust. My frames are "decent" I guess i get around 70 on average. However it freezes a lot usually feels pretty choppy. I looked at the GPU and CPU utilization and it only gets to about 40 or 50 percent for the CPU and like 30 percent or so for my GPU. I was going to upgrade my CPU but when I saw my CPU wasn't bottlenecking my GPU, my motherboard being the problem was my first thought. How can I fix this issue? I just want to enjoy a smooth rust experience ya know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

what the ram and ssd usage?

I have 16GB of ram, the ram i use is "G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin SDRAM (PC4-25600) DDR4 3200 CL16-18-18-38 1.35V Dual Channel Desktop Memory F4-3200C16D-16GVRB" and I have an SSD. I have 287 GB used on my SSD. I am not sure how to check RAM usage?

My RAM usage in game right now is about 85 percent.

Windows recognized 16gb of RAM, it goes from 85-90 ish on Rust which is what I am playing right now. As for background activity I do have chrome open on my second monitor. However when playing rust I don't play anything on it.

test with closing chrome and unplug the 2nd monitor

I closed chrome and disconnected my second monitor. I then ran the game again and went into a server, my GPU utilization is still around 40 percent, my CPU is still around 50 ish and my memory/RAM is still in the mid to upper 80s.

malware scan the system?
Don't think rust would use that much ram
